Where can it be checked?
Look in the
"View" menu of your browser for something like encoding settings (differs a
little between browsers).
What did you do, "nakohdo", to display the
Chinese characters
instead of the å? é?¤æ??票/ä¾µæ? sequence of characters?
(Because I can really see them on my screen with the same web browser...)
The
browser can normaly recognise the encoding of a HTML or XML file and display it correctly.
The robots.txt file you mentioned in your first posting doesn't provide a mechanism
for telling its encoding so the browser has to guess or take the defaul settings.
Try opening the robots.txt in your browser and change the encoding to UTF-8. You could
also try downloading the file (right click, "Save target as...") and opening it
with a Unicode capable text editior, e.g. Windows own Notepad.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding for further information.
